Just have a question. Did anyone honestly not see obamacare or whatever you want to call it becoming unaffordable, not helping with service because it didn't deal with costs or the penalties?? Honestly, raise your hand if you followed the yellow brick road thinking the people pushing this were helping anyone but their insurance friends.

We screamed from the roof tops that this would happen, and NO ONE listened, all the progressives (as always) told us how backward we were , how wrong we were, and how we hated poor people......
My next question is, when are they goign to get tired of being wrong and LISTEN to reason for once

To be fair, A LOT of people had stars in their eyes about getting help for health care. But the fact of the matter is, Obamacare doesn't provide health care. It doesn't even really help you afford health care. It's a government mandate FORCING citizens to purchase a 'service' from private companies. How that's constitutional is beyond me.

But why would politicians want to SPEND money on stupid old poor people when they could sit back and let the money POUR IN from insurance/pharmaceutical lobbyists? Gawd, those BMW's and Lexus' don't pay for themselves people.

How odd, I thought republicans were the party trying to punish the poor. Once again it shows me there's not much difference between the two parties. Equally worthless, and always want your money if your rich or poor. Enjoy president Clinton or president Bush. We just need more republicans or democrats and life will improve. Or so I am told.

Only in government math does fining people who can't afford something to begin with make sense.
But it was a move by the Department of Health and Human Services that the four closing co-ops say was critically destabilizing. HHS announced Oct. 1 that it could afford to pay insurers participating in the federal and state-run exchanges just 12.6 percent of nearly $3 billion they were owed under a temporary provision of the health-care law.

If more people would have chose no cable or no cell phone and bought health care, we all would be better off.
